Mountain lion P-89 killed on 101 Freeway in Woodland Hills
LA TimesP-89, a subadult male mountain lion, was found dead along the shoulder of the 101 Freeway between the DeSoto and Winnetka exits in Woodland Hills on Monday. A mountain lion was struck and killed on the 101 Freeway in the Santa Monica Mountains early Monday, a month after another was killed on a Southern California road. For the record: An earlier version of this article said P-89 was the second mountain lion killed in the Santa Monica Mountains in the last week. The article also said mountain lion P-97 was the brother of P-54 and was killed near the Santa Monica Mountains. The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a unit of the National Park Service, said P-89 had been struck by a vehicle around 2 a.m. Jeff Sikich, mountain lion field biologist for the National Park Service, said the young cat became part of the park service’s cougar study area — which includes the Santa Monica Mountains, Simi Hills, Griffith Park and the Santa Susana and Verdugo mountains — in 2020 after he was born during the “summer of kittens.” The cub eventually was recaptured by Sikich in November, he said, to be fitted with a GPS radio collar when he was still traveling with his mother, and wildlife officials had been following him closely since.
